Topping:
In a large saucepan, bring 1/2 cup sugar and water to a boil. Add the rhubarb. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Combine flour and remaining sugar; stir into rhubarb mixture. Return to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Stir in butter and almonds. Reduce heat to low; stir occasionally or until butter is melted.
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients; cut butter until crumbly. Whisk egg and milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Pour hot rhubarb mixture into a 2 quart shallow baking dish. Drop topping into six mounds over the rhubarb mixture.
Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Area Emergency Management Directors remind residents that the National Weather Service will conduct a Tornado Drill on Wednesday, March 29th, between 10 and 11:00 a.m. The purpose of the drill is to ensure that Iowans can adequately receive a Tornado Warning.
The test warning will be sent through all communication channels normally used for severe weather dissemination. NOAA weather radios will sound an alert, outdoor warning sirens throughout the County will be activated and a mass message will be sent through the Cass County Emergency Notification System, reminding people of the drill and prompting them to take action.
Mike Kennon, Cass County Emergency Management Coordinator, says “This is an excellent opportunity for residents, businesses, and schools to review their tornado safety plans and practice their own procedures in the event of actual severe weather.”
To register for the Cass County Emergency Notification System, residents can go to the KJAN home page and click on the Cass County Wireless Emergency Notification System (WENS) link. Once on the link page, you can sign up by entering your cell phone, e-mail and/or pager number, city and zip code.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A new survey suggests that farmland values in Iowa have inched upward in the past six months. A report from the Iowa Realtors Land Institute Chapter No. 2 says the farmland values climbed nearly 1 percent from September to March, hitting $6,545 an acre. The Des Moines Register reports that the increase was the first since September 2013.
The report says, however, that farmland values are still 2.8 percent lower for the past 12 months. The institute’s surveys suggest that the average value of Iowa’s farmland has dropped about 25 percent since March 2013. Iowa farmland values peaked in 2013 but have since fallen along with commodity prices.
The institute surveys about 135 agricultural real estate brokers, appraisers and other professionals.
